Jada Pinkett Smith Shaves Her Head

Jada Pinkett Smith has taken a page out of her daughter Willow’s book, shaving her head and showing off the results on Instagram.

Willow restarted her hair journey a year ago, documenting her growth on social media for her fans to follow along with. It appears as though the 20-year-old artist influenced her mother to do the same because, on Monday morning, Jada Pinkett Smith showed off her freshly shaved head for the first time.

“Willow made me do it because it was time to let go,” explained Jada in her caption. “BUT … my 50’s are bout to be Divinely lit with this shed.”

Jada is turning fifty later this year, getting ready for the milestone by letting go of her locks. Most commenters are congratulating the actress for taking such a risky step with her look while others say she could have done a better job of shaving her head, pointing out that there’s a patch of hair she missed at the top. 

In other recent Jada news, she recently spoke about the time she passed out on the set of The Nutty Professor from a bad batch of ecstasy. Another story involving her went viral when it was revealed that she allegedly told Tupac not to beat up Will Smith when they started dating. You can read more about that here
